Oh yeah, and this too

I realized just a few minutes ago that since the babies were born, I haven't posted any pictures of me! And with me being the super celebrity that I am, that's probably problematic for those of you out there who wish to stalk me.

And you probably don't know that I cut my hair. Yup. It's pretty short now. I'm not sure if you can tell in these pictures, but it's shoulder length, bobbed. I love it when the babies curl their little grubby hands in it and pull. It wasn't about them grabbing the hair, it was about me hating looking like a big shaggy dog all the time, with hair everywhere, and it taking 20 minutes to wash it.

I've lost some of my mommy weight, but I actually don't care that much about it. There's a post about how liberating it is to see your body as the thing that made these gorgeous babies, and how I don't actually care the way I thought I would about saggy boobs and stretch marks. I will eventually take up exercise again and lose the 25 or so pounds that are extra. But for now, I am okay with myself.

Anyway. This picture is from the digital scrapbook; as if it weren't obvious, it's me & Maia in the hammock. It's one of two pages, and I think it came out rather well. Like my cool new glasses? They're Versace... (say that with the wrong accent, like in Showgirls, please.) Maia grabbed a handful of my old ones and broke them really well, so I was forced to spend the money. And since I'm wearing my glasses almost all the time now, instead of contacts which annoy me lately (pregnancy changed my eyes, and I haven't gone to get a new sizing yet.) I figured I could spend a little cash on cool new specs.

Here I am. In all my PJ'd glory.
